Brew Pal is an excellent program for storing recipes and doing some calculations for things like IBU and gravity, which is what I use it for. I purchased it the day after I bought my iPod, just because I wanted to support homebrew apps, turns out I love it and use it on every brew day.

It allows easy email export of BeerXML, which makes storing recipes off the iPod easy.

It's also $0.99, which is not a good reflection of its value, I'd pay $4.99.

I use BeerAlchemy Touch extensively during my brew day, and love it. I have a few gripes about the number of taps I have to make when moving between a recipe screen and the calculators, but otherwise, very handy, and I don't have to schlep my laptop to the garage.

BeerAlchemy for iPad has been out for a while ($9.99), and the iPhone version has gotten a lot cheaper at $4.99. I use the iPhone version all the time, and love it.

I'm a little late to the party, but the best one I've used is iBrewMaster. It's currently available for $7.99 for the iPod/iPhone edition and $10.99 for the iPad edition. Rather than regurgitate all the features, take a look in the iTunes store here and here for more details. Overall, it has worked the best for me in managing the process from start to finish. I especially like the alerts functionality when I have multiple batches going at once.
